Stillwater Morning

A fairly typical Saturday morning has us walking down the hill to the South Hill steps. It's a little nicer walk now that spring has fully arrived.

In case you're wondering, then yes, our street is on the list of road construction projects for the year. I'm already looking forward to that assessment bill.

TJ likes to grab a drink wherever he can, even from rocks.

Spring

Spring has definitely sprung in the yard and around town. We're keeping close tabs on the new growth. Otherwise, you could blink and miss the whole show.

Lady's mantle

Violets

Bleeding heart

We finally got a rhododendron last summer, and it is my FAVORITE. I love this guy. Just perfect in all seasons.
